Fall Of '82

I do relate to you in so many ways

But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days

You had to be strong at such a very young age

A new life on Lima Lane



So won't you listen to me now

There's something I never told you

And I'm about to try

See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding



You moved back in with us in the fall of '82

I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through

You told me that a downturn would eventually improve

And you were right, so I'm thanking you



So won't you listen to me now

There's something I never told you

And I'm about to try

See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

Footholds eroding



Had you never been my friend

I wouldn't be quite what you see

I wouldn't be the man I am



Sister you've known me

Lost in a strange world

What has it shown me?

What has it unfurled?

Sister you've known me

Been lost in a strange world

But what has it shown me?

What has it unfurled?



October chill in that old dusty town

Halloween came, I was still feeling down

Mom, I lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?

Your boy is losing count

"Maybe try the lost and found"
